I am getting on board (I tried Atkins in 1997, 40 pounds lost) but the concepts and science didn't make sense to me. So I stayed in Inductions for months. I was young, and I wanted to make myself into a good looking guy. However, there were other things that took precedence. Getting married, and having kids, and then divorcing.)
I lost 100 pounds back in 2003-2004. It was on a low fat diet. As my stomach shrank, I grew accustomed to biting everyone's (including my wife at the time) heads off.
But I didn't internalize it. I went from 145 back to 264, and have stayed there except for 20 pounds unintentional loss.
Now, here I am. 242 and floundering.
I have stage 1 diabetic neuropathy, but my feet have started to hurt, so I must be progressing diabetic wise. I feel so apathetic about it. I don't know where to turn.
I need to lose the weight, and put my diabetes in it's place. I will always be on meds for my diabetes. I am type II. I need to get things straightened out, or I going to start losing things (appendages)
Any help would be appreciated. I use myFitnessPal for tracking my food, since it's easier than the myPLAN interface. Anyone that wants to review my diet (from the 25th on) can view it

I look forward to hearing from you all! Talk soon!
